Anyone have any tips for modding the BIOS on the 980ti Classy? A few weeks after I got the cards I flashed the "OC BIOS" that Kingpin uploaded, but that didn't seem to actually change anything (although I very may well be wrong as I haven't analyzed it in any kind of BIOS editor).

What are the kids doing nowadays in terms of BIOS editing? Is it worth it? Or am I better off just tooling around with Afterburner?

What's your clocks on stock voltages? mine does 1500 @+600 on the ram...

I'm testing everything I can on my air cooled card in the geeeeeerage ..... it's a 1500/2150 card so far.

I'm on water with two cards. My cards' stability really depends on what they're doing. If we're talking completing a FS Ultra run, they're stable at a little over 1500 MHz and 500-550 MHz on the memory. I hate to play fast and loose with the definition of stable though, because as soon as I decide to play a game, I'm unable to get much higher than +80 +450 it would seem. I did recently discover the 980ti Classified voltage controller profile for Afterburner though, so I'm going to be playing with adding voltage now that the slider actually does something . I had felt compelled to use PX because of the increased voltage range, but now I don't have to use that bloated mess (no offense to any PX fans, but it is). I don't know.

Just kind of lost right now and frustrated that I haven't found a max stable OC for every day use despite owning these for going on 4 months . Want to get this straightened out and get something I'm happy with so I can stop fidgeting with it and worrying about it.

I've found knocking 25 off the core works best all around for 24/7 365 "stuff" ...... seriously how much does it really mean for the joy of just turning it on and doing what you want/need to?

Yes mind you I haven't used that but I believe it does the same thing. Basically if you can turn down the aux volt you can crank it a little higher and actually get a higher 24 / 7 overclock and if you keep playing in cold temps and keep pushing it down which wouldn't be gaming stable but more fun you can get higher and higher. I need a water block IMO. I want a 100% guaranteed no issues block though.

The aux voltage is like another power feed to the memory from what I've been able to find looking around myself a little on the internet by using google seeing as I like looking into things myself. Either way, it helps overclock a lot.Edited by truehighroller1 - 2/9/16 at 8:57pm

So one of my 780 Ti Classified's died and I RMA'd it to eVGA. I found out that they're sending me back a 980 Classified. Pretty cool of them, but I'm slightly disappointed that I can't run SLi anymore without buying a new card. Decisions, decisions...

Yeah, I've thought about this. The 780 Ti Classy is part number 03G-P4-2887-KR and the 980 Classy is part number 04G-P4-3987-KR. Both can't be bought new anymore (although Newegg is selling the 04G-P4-3988-KR part and I can flash the BIOS if it's any different from the one I'm getting). I just don't know if I want to dip into the used market to get a 780 Ti without warranty (after all, I just saw one of mine die a little while ago) or spend some money out of pocket for another 980 Classy. I dunno, I'll think about it some more.

Side question, anyone know the difference between the 04G-P4-3987-KR and 04G-P4-3988-KR models? They honestly look the same to me...Edited by decimator - 2/13/16 at 7:12am
